  1. Once more into the rabbit hole my friends... jeeze. Thanks for this. I'll get back to you with whether I want to participate by Saturday evening.
  2. Dark Souls(Demon's Souls successor)

    I must be the luckiest godsdamned person alive because aside from a couple initial problems when it launched, I've never had any real problems with it. "GFWL = No purchase" still boggles my mind, either way.
  3. Dark Souls(Demon's Souls successor)

    Look, I understand GFWL has problems. But at least it's relatively functional and unobtrusive now, when it's working. Which for me is majority of the time. Don't be stupid please, thank you.
  4. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    WSnA-WzqTX4 Something about this just... the timbre of his closing two lines maybe.
  5. Every time you bring this up I say "aye!" and you never do anything about it. The burning world tree and Guggenheim were great. I will also never forget the short time of the Second Epoch, where-in Doug gave me TNT access and I made a Minecraft chasm before Notch made them real. Also my poor hellpumpkin house. My having TNT access in no way contributed to the death of the Second Epoch, thank you very much.
  6. My one foray into learning to play BB:LE was a horrendous failure. But if I can manage in the next couple days to understand what's going on I'd certainly be in for this. You wouldn't happen to know of a decent tutorial/video series? The in-game tutorial just doesn't do much. Also apparently they're making Dungeonbowl now, and I hope to death they'll have traps and stuff in it because Dead Ball was the best book in the Blood Bowl series. So I need to learn to play. E: Hey Baron, add me on Steam, we can suck at each other if you're interested. My info is in the networking thread somewhere.
  7. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    I'm sure there are petrified elephants somewhere in the many layers of the earths crust.
  8. This thread now "Scrobbs Hustles New Guys"
  9. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    I'm still astounded no-one noticed that. Or maybe they did.
  10. DOTA 2

    I had the pieces to my Stone in my stash, and my next item was going to be a Blink. No Radiance on WD.
  11. Their storage method reminds me of something that would be in a Stephen Moffat episode of Doctor Who. Just a thousand yard hallway that ends in fog and darkness.
  12. Movie/TV recommendations

    Watch Remedial Chaos Theory then.
  13. Dark Souls(Demon's Souls successor)

    What you have to realize about this is that with M&K you could have mouselook. Which means the locking system wouldn't be necessary, and the locking system is a big part of Dark/Demon's Souls on consoles.
  14. DOTA 2

    Yeah I'd say WD is still viable. Witch Doctor best support.
  15. Star Wars Kinect

    It just occurred to me. Why isn't the name of this thread "Lightsaber on!"?
  16. Awww man. I unfortunately only have base Sins and Rebellion.
  17. Woops, yeah! The Paradox forums are a vipers pit of crazy ultra-nationalists, but they do produce the occasional stupendous AAR. http://lparchive.org/Paradox-Hohenzollern/ This guy over on SA, Wiz, is basically the go-to god of Paradox mega-games. It's worth a read, since he's basically telling a story through the game rather than just playing and documenting it. Warthuron, I can completely understand what you mean. I've only done one of them, and between conversion and playing it was an exhaustive experience. A fun one no doubt, but draining. How Wiz does it so regularly is beyond me. Wiz's on-going Azerbaijan mega-game: Here. (Almost done) And his Crete LP, where he let people on the forums form the senate and make decision about gameplay. That went about as well as you'd expect: Here.
  18. DOTA 2

    He's no Dazzle (but who is?!) but yeah, Witch Doctor in the right hands, ie. you can cask properly and aren't stupid about your ult placement, will still destroy entire teams.
  19. DOTA 2

    What Twig is trying to be delicate about is that Sniper is a shit character. A lot of people will tell you that X character is terrible because spurious Y reason, but Sniper is unequivocally terrible. Do not play him.
  20. I can in no way deny that tracking information in EU3 is difficult and arcane. It can take a good while to link all the treaties and alliances together to make sure that declaring war on Sicily isn't going to bring in The Hansa. But I think that's part of the appeal of EU3, or any Paradox game, at least for me. Alternate reality. What happens if I take control of the Teutonic Order, and they not only survive their ousting from Prussia, but take over the HRE? For reference, France gets really mad at you and allies with the Ottomans to take you down. What. I'm not sure if you or any of your co-conspirators are aware of this idea Troy, but the idea of mega-games might tickle your fancy. Basically you start in CK (not Rome, the gap in time is too large for decent transfer) and you play to the end of CK. Then you modify a save state of EU3 to have all the appropriate countries and their holdings from your CK game. Then it moves from EU3 to HoI2and then to Ricky (Victoria 1 with Revolutions). It's an immense amount of effort, relatively speaking, but the one mega-game I've played so far was an interesting exercise in roleplay. If I had just played to the absolute best of my ability I would have owned half the world by the end of CK. So it forces you to stay in character and not make outrageous plays. It's a format often used for Let's Plays of the Paradox catalog, and while most people will never bother, I just thought it's something to point out.
  21. EU3 is the definite forerunner for learning Paradox games. I'd say that it goes EU3 -> CK -> HoI -> Vicky That's not to say that Vicky is unplayable, or EU3 is unnecessarily easy, but there are definitely things in the EU series that allow you to ease into it. I wish they'd get around the releasing the retail Magna Mundi game. EU3 is becoming way too easy for me.
  22. DOTA 2

    I've said it before, but building non-proscribed builds in LoL is a bad idea. That said, when you end up with nothing but bruisers with stuns and build nothing but cooldown and health regen, well... Tears were harvested that day.
  23. Star Wars Kinect

    Just in case you weren't sure if true evil existed. _dMhKW2hh6c 6lJQ5PmmleQ SqWL2Io9Ecc
  24. YOUR WOLD!

    Hey, Shadowbane was a great game. You know, in between the crippling lag in sieges, the complete imbalance of Centaur Priests, and the fact that the Chinese alliances completely dominated entire servers for months at time.
  25. DOTA 2

    Except for that fact that Dominion is terrible. But hey, don't let that stop you I guess.
